Joe Pyfer, better known as "Bodybagz", holds the #7 spot at middleweight, flying the flag for the United States — and rankings that high aren't given away, they're taken.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 10 KO/TKO wins, 3.52 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled.
The form line is loud: 4 straight wins, the latest over Israel Adesanya (KO/TKO (Punches) R2). Momentum like that forces the division's hand.
